Many political ideologies are defined at root by one's view of Evil. Many progressives, for example, believe in human goodness and perfectibility more than I do, who has a Lord of the Flies view of human development. How one views Evil colors how one relates to "enemies" and so on. And in extreme, this tendency can become evil itself. Self-protection becomes greed.
More and more, I think the failure of the human experiment is built into our hardware. An over-simplification goes this way: as we become more humane and empathetic, we also become weaker, and in battle the stronger, not the wiser or kinder, win.
